Hello Benno,

I read an article in "After the Battle" that they did in fact recover parts of these wrecks (Do-24's and Catalina's).
One engine complete with bullets is on display in a park, and many items were removed from the wrecks (artificial horizon, oxygen bottle etc, complete toolkit) It seemed that at low tide the wrecks became visible. The photographs I have seem indicate that these aircraft are very battered (don't know if its salt water or not). More news would be welcome though.
